@Harry Blake,
Good stuff Harry, that's exactly the clarity of thinking that has some religious folk held in such high regard by atheists.
How about I flip your sentence?
CHristians say the bible is the word of God, but now Harry is saying it's contradictory eyewitness accounts which prove it's true.
I wish they'd make up their minds.
Seriously though. Any bible historian (Christian or otherwise) can point out a multitude of 'on the historical record' editions. YOU could find different versions in any book store. Are you really that ignorant, or are you just trolling?
So you think God (or your eye witnesses) wrote it in modern day English?
